THURSDAY. before Mr Registratr Glynne Jones, when the following public examina- tions were disposed of — John Thomas Roberts, of Maesarnen House, Colwyn Bay. builder and contractor. Gross liabilities. JB939 19s 2d: expected to rank, £879 6s 8d assets estimated by the bankrupt to produce £æ8 14s, ltcss JB58 7s lOd due to preferential creditors; alleged causes of failure, "losses on building con- tracts." In reply to the Assistant Official Receiver (Mr Hugh Roberts), the bankrupt stated that he commenced business three years ago, with a capital of J5120. which re- presented money that he had saved in Ain- erica, where he worked for two years as a journeyman joiner. In addition to carrying on business as a builder at Oolwyn Bay, he kept a boot shop, which was managed by his wife. He had no experience in that T)usin<eiss, but his wife had. He held his dwelling-house and shop on two leases. Some time ago. he purchased a piece of land at Mochdre, and partly built two cottages upon it. He had deposited the deeds with Mr SWin, Colwyn Bay, as security for an advance. The Rev W. Hughes, of the Congo Training Institute, Colwyn Bay, had proved ag^tnst his estate for £50, for broach of an agreement, but he (the bankrupt) did not consider there was any ground fcr making such a claim. He had arranged with Mr Hughes to train boys connected with the In- stitute to the joinery trade, and had regu- larly done so up to the time of his failure. After his bankruptcy, a distress for rent was put in, under a clause in the agreement of tenancy, which provided for the payment of rent in advance if demanded. He had had several contracts, some of which he had been unable to complete owing to want of capital. He could not say what profit he had made. -The examination was idjourned for the filing of an account of the contracts, showing the profit and loss on each, and also for an amended cash account for the last three years. William Griffith, of Plascoch. Portdinor- wic, farmer and cattle dealer. This was an adjourned case. the iial ilities to unsecured creditors being JS2695 4s, against assets esti- mated to realise JS291 9s 3d. Mr Richard Roberts, Carnarvon, appeared for the bank- rupt. who was examined by the Assistant Official Receiver, upon his cash account. He put down his travelling expenses at JE123 per annum. This was an estimate, but he cortidered he had been travelling for eight. months out of every twelve, at an expense of about £ 4 per week. During the three years ended February last his payments am- ounted to £30.056 4s 3d. He had two bank- ing accounts—the Metropolitan Bank, llan- gefni, and the Old Bank, Carnarvon. Dur- ing the three years he had paid £234 in bank charges at Llangefni, but he could not stv how much he had paid at Carnarvon.—The examination was closed, subject to signing of notes. Evan Williams, 35, Stanley-street, carry- ing on business at the Bee Hive and Wolverhampton House, Holyhead, grocer's assistant and ironmonger, accounts were filed showing an indebtedness of B940 12s lid, and t.ie Ibankrupt estimated his assets at JE1006 17s lid, thus showing a surplus. Mr E. G. Roberts, Holyhead, appeared for the bankrupt. Replying to the Assistant Official Receiver, the bankrupt stated that for the past 19 years he had been manager to Messrs Thomas Lewis and Co. About four years ago Lie took over an ironmongery business which 'had previously been carried on by his brother, Elias Williams. The landlord (Lord Stanley) let the ironmongery shop to him on the understanding that ide was not to allow his brother to take any part in the management, or to enter the premises, but this clause in the agreement was subsequently waivtU by Mr Elliott, the agent, and tine management of the business was entrusted to his brother. He could not say what his income or expendi- ture had been, or what profit lie had made out of the business. He had been in. a very bad state of nealth for some years, and had not been able to give his business the attention it required on that account. He partly attributed his failure to that. His employers (Messrs T. Lewis and Co.) had proved against his estate for JE470 for money received by him as manager and agent for their use. This deficiency was caused bv: his inability to attend to the business pe- sonajlly. His arrangement with Messrs Lewis was that he should employ his own assistants, and be responsible for all coodg supplied to the shop. He had entered 156 persons in his statement of affairs as being debtors to his estate, but 70 or 80 of these persons had written denying their indebted- ness. His explanation of this was that his brother had been going round collecting the debts after his dismissal in October last. and in some instances Lie had collected debts after the receiving order was made.- The examination wa.s closed. David Jones, Trefnant, Denbigh, of no occupation, was further examined, his lia- bilities being E370 Is 2d, against assets nil. The bankrupt was examined as to his Stock Exchange transactions in conjunction with a London solicitor, whom he alleged 'jad induced him to speculate in mining and other shares. He bad lost a good deal of, money in this way, and attributed his failure to it. He had been endeavouring to earn commissions during the last few years in disposing of slate quarries, but had not succeeded in finding buyers. He had no assets of any kind, and was maintained by his wife, who -iad a separate estate.—The examination was closed. Robert Grimth, Groeslon, near Carnarvon, grocer. Liabilities, £ 501 79 5d; assets estimated to realise E110 18s 4d' after pro- viding for preferential claims alleged causes of failure, illness, and loss by a daughter. Mr Richard Roberts, Carnarvon, appeared for the bankrupt, who stated that in addi- tion to carrying on businesa as a grocer, he was employed in a writing slate manufac- tory. He commenced business as a grocer I about 15 years ago, with a capital of E80. The business was first of all attended to I bv '.us first wife, and upon her death, about 18 months ago, it managed by his daughter. He had a sum of ?,R0 in tho North and Wales Bank, Penvgroes, which he lodged there in ia;s daughter's name. Shortly afterwards she withdrew the money, and -went off to America. He then discovered that she Viad been receiving book debts and retaining the money for her own use. In October last, he married a second time, and on the day before 'his wedding he executed a marriage settlement in favour of his wife, by whic.1 he assigned to her everything he possessed. He knew he was insolvent at that. time. He believed his wife was willing to give "[> the pro- perty comprised in the settlement. He had kept no books of account, and could give no information as to the takings or profits.— The examination was closed.

He said the cases were so simple taat it was only necessary to outline them. He then asked them to re- tire. The grand jury brought in a true bill against Mary Ellen Lewis (19), a servant, for obtaining by false pretences of and from one Owen Williams certain goods, to wit, one cape, four yards Holland, five yards of calico, one pair of slippers, two and a quar- ter yards of linen, and one pair of stockings, with intent to cheat and defraud him of the same.

Mary Ellen Lewis was charged with ob- taining goods by false pretences.—Mr E. G. Roberts prosecuted, and said that the ac- cused knew that her aunt dealt at the saop, and that she (the defendant) went there and obtained goods, pretending that she intend- ed taking them to her aunt for ier approval, but never returned to pay for the goods, and the shopkeeper had sustained a loss to the value of the articles suppled.—Owen Williams, Stores, Bodedern, and Ellen Wil- liams, Tv Newydd, Bodedern, gave evidence in accordance with the opening statement of Mr Roberts.—Mr T. R. Evans, who ap- peared for the defence, remarked that her character was irreproachable. Her !<tate- ment to the police was made in a moment of excitement. What she meant to say was that she nad got the goods, but with the full knowledge and consent of Lie aunt. He contended that her aunt had told her to go and get the goods, and keep it a perfect sec- ret from her uncle, but that when the uncle came to know of it, she denied having told Lie girl to get them. He held that there was no evidence against the girl. She had gone to the shop and got the goods, but not under false pretences.—The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and prisoner was sen- tenced to come up for judgment when called upon. A BAD BEGINNING. John Hughes, junior, of 4, Mona-terrace, Caergeiliog^ was charged with stealing a certain stamping instrument of the value of seven shillings and sixpence, the property of the Postmaster-General, from the Post- office, Caergeiliog, kept by Mrs Owen.—Mr T. R. Evans, who appeared for the prosecu- tion, said that the stamping instrument was kept in a box on the counter, and it was there when Mn; Owen left the shop. The boy John Hughes came in, and knocked. She came into the shop, and served him. She then noticed that the stamp was not in its place, and charged him with stealing it. He denied the charge, when she told the ser- vant girl to go for the boy's father. The boy, however, rushed out for his father, and brought him to the shop. The prisoner's father searched him, but found nothing on him. On being charged by P.O. Henry Ro- berts, Valley, prisoner admitted having stolen the stamp, and said that he had thrown it over Mrs Owen's wall, where it was afterwards found.—'Mrs Owen, Post- office, Caergeiliog, and P.C. Henry Roberts, Valley, gave evidence, which corroborated M!r Evans's Btaltemalnt.—The jury having found the prisoner guilty, he was sentenced to go to a reformatory for three years. TWO YOUNG ADVENTURERS. George Gay and William Gay, who alleged that they were brothers, and resided with their parents at London, were charged bv Inspector James Henry Perkins, of the Lon- don and North-Western Detective Depart- ment, with having stolen a piece of soan. the property of the railway company, and also having in their possession a reserve carriage label. They were further charged with ob- taining food at three different restaurants in the town under false pretences.—Elizabeth Clarke, Refreshment House, Victoria-road, testified that the prisoners came to her house on the morning of the 26th ult., and asked for breakfast. Having been supplied with a reasonable allowance, 11 they asked for a fresh supply of baoon. She afterwards came into the room to get a plate, when she saw one of the prisoners disappearing through the window, the other remarking, "I wonder where he has gone to. and also jumped out of the window, not returning to pay the amount due.—Mary Owen, wid- ow, Market Hill Coffee House, gave similar evidence as relating to a subsequent date.- Elizabeth Shepstone, restaurant keeper. Lon- don-road, said that the prisoners had called, a~l .°r,^re,l A dinner, and after being pro- vided with the same, absconded in the same clandestine manner as described by the two previous witnesses.Tohn Owen. carriage deaner. and John Richard Madeley, to- gether with Inspector Perkins and Sergeant Owen i jams gave evidence in regard to the larceny and arrests on behalf of the railway company. Mr Fenna represented the L. ana N-W. Railway Company, and conducted the prosecution.—The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were sen- tenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

CARNARVONSHIRE. The Carnarvonshire Easter Quarter Ses- sions was held at the County Had, Carnar- von, on Thursday. The magistrates present were: H.E. Greaves, Esq. (Lord-lieuten- ant), presiding; Sir Llewelyn Turner, Col. W. E. Sackville West, Captain N. P. Stew- art, Principal the Rev E. Herber Evans, D.D., J. Ellis Nanney, Esq., James Picton, Esq., John T. Jones, Esq., Henry Knee- shaw, Esq., J. Jones, Esq., John Robinson, Esq., John Menzies, Esq., D. P. Williams, Esq., J. Issard Davies, Esq., J. W. Jones, Esq., W. A. Darbishire, Esq., J. Bryn Roberts, Esq., M.P., H. Clegg, Esq., Ephraim Wood, Esq., John Davies, Esq., J. O. Jones, Esq., Colonel Hughes- Gough, Caerhun; and Edward Lloyd, Esq. The following were sworn on the GfRAND JURY: Messrs W. Henry Brinkman (foreman), J. Evans, Thomas Griffith, Lewis Hartley, G. Hughes, J. D. Jones, Robert Jones, Dinas Robert Jones, Aber; Robert Jones, Denbigh House W. P. Matthews, Bangor; O. W. Owen, James Price, Carnarvon H. Roberts, O. Roberts, Castell; Hugh Thom- as. Bethesda; W. E. Webster, and R. R. Williams, Llaiillyfni. THE CHARGE. In charging the grand jury, the Chairman said that he was glad to inform them that their duties that day were of an exception- ally light character, only two cases being down for hearing-ûne having turned up at the last moment. The normal number of cases sent down for trial had been so small of late that he was able to endorse the opin- ion expressed in neighbouring counties that it was highly desirable that some sort of re- lation should exist between the numbe-r of cases and the number of jurymen summoned to try them. There were certainly no diffi- culties in the way of accomplishing that, but lie believed that if they were met fairly in the face, it would be found that they were not unsurmountable. It was no doubt satis- factory for jurymen to be told when they came to the court that there was very little for them to do, but he thought that it would be more satisfactory if that information could be imparted to them before they left home. A NEW MAGISTRATE. Colonel Hughes-Go ugh, Caerhun, took the usual oath on his elevation to the bench. RESPITED. On the application of Mr Fenna, the ap- peal of the London and North-Western Rail- way Company against) a certain "improve- ment rate" by the Llandudno Improvement Commissioners was further respited. ELECTION OF JOINT POLICE COM. MITTEE. The next business was the election of members of the joint police committee. Mr Issard Davies asked whether it was possible to get a list of the attendance of the old members. The Clerk said that he had not got it. Mr J. T. Jones, Parciau, said that it was desirable to come to some better mode of electing members of the committee, instead of having them elected en bloc, in order that all the districts might be fairly represented. He moved that they proceed by nomination. Mr Kneeshaw moved that the old com- mittee be re-elected en bloc. Mr D. P. Williams seconded the motion of Mr J. T. Jones. Mr J. Issard Davies seconded the amend- ment. The County Council members, the other day, were elected en bloc. Mr W. A. Darbishire quite agreed with Mr Jones that the districts should be better re- presented. Sir Llewelyn Turner said that there was a good deal in what Mr Darbishire and Mr Jones had said, for it was highly important that the districts should be well represented. The Chairman pointed out that tpe old members came from all parts of the county. Mr D. P. Williams Not all. I Ultimately the motion was carried by a majority. The court then proceeded to elect the committee by nomination, and Mr D. P. Williams and Mr J. Issard Davies were ap- pointed to count the papers. Ultimately Mr D. P, Williams announced that the following had been elected W. A. Darbishire, Esq., C. H. Darbishire, Esq., Jonathan Davies, Esq., Major Lloyd Evans, Colonel Wynne Finch, J. E. Greaves, Esq., John Hughes, Esq., H. Kneeshaw, Esq., John Menzies, Esq., Ellis Nanney, Esq., Lord Penrhyn, Captain Stewart, Sir Llewelyn Turner, Colonel West, and the Hon. Fred Wynn. AN APPEAL FOR COSTS. Mr Hindley (from the office of Mr S. R. Dew, Bangor), applied for the costs of an appeal entered by John Daniel Jones, publican, against the Bangor Justices and the Superintendent of Police. It appeared that the appeal to the quarter sessions had been abandoned on the 17th of March, and they applied for costs up to that date.—Mr W. Thornton Jones objected.—The court granted the application subject to taxation. CHARGE OF LARCENY. William John Tynan (15), Bangor, pleaded not guilty to stealing 2s 1td, the property of John Jones, Upper Bangor, on the 18th of March.—Mr W. Thornton Jones prosecuted. -The allegation was that the accused had gone to the shop of the prosecutor and stole therefrom the sum of 2s 1td from a scales which was on the counter.—Several witnesses were called by the prosecution.—The Chair- man characterised the case as a very simple one, and might have been dealt with by the local bench had it not been the wish of the accused to be tried by jury. In a case of this sort the jury were bound to give ac- cused the benefit of any doubt that they might have about it.-Prisoner was found not guilty. SERIOUS CHARGES FROM LLAN. BERlS. loan Ellis, quarryman, 22 years of age, was charged with stealing a saddle and bridle, the property of John Roberts, Llan. beris. He was further charged with steal- ing a mare, the property of John Roberts.— Accused pleaded not guilty to both charges. -Mr Henwood prosecuted.—John Roberts, Ty Ucha'rffordd, Llanberis, said prisoner called in his stable on the 28th last month. Witness had a saddle and bridle there which were missed. He never gave them nor lent them to accused. The stable was locked. He found the goods missing this day week. The articles would be worth about 30s. The saddle and bridle produced were his pro. perty. — Cross examined by prisoner: Witness said he never reached the saddle and bridle to prisoner, nor did he order him to come there for them. Witness had gone home. Witness suspected that accused opened the bar on the stable door, but he was not there.—Re-examined The articles were subsequently found in Carnarvon. He never lent them to the accused, nor author- ised anybody to lend them to him. Accused often came about the stable after coming from work. Prisoner was an old workman of witness.—P.C. 53 (Richard Henry Jones) said he went in search of the prisoner, and apprehended him, charging him, and in reply accused said he did not steal the artjdes, but that John Roberts himself ottered the loan of them to him, and that he (accused) went to the stable and took them away last Saturday week.—P. S. 12 (Thomas Williams) said he went in search of the missing articles. He had them at the Harp Inn, Carnarvon. E. R. Williams, landlord of the Harp Iian, said the prisoner visited his house on the 28th March, and on the Tues- day following. He brought a bridle and saddle with him, and left them there in witness's charge. He did not sell them to witness. — Hugh Evans, called by the prisoner, said he knew nothing about the I saddle and bridle. Prisoner never asked -r aF him anything about It.-PrIsoner said that John Robeits lent him the saddle and l bridle.—The jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty, a doubtful case.The charge of stealing the mare was then proceeded with. -John Roberts, the prosecutor, said that the accused came to him on the 25th March. He wanted to get witness's mare tc his place to graze, but witness told him that the mare should not go there until he saw his mother, and witness told him not to take the mare away until he had seen his mother. On the following day, witness went to prisoner's place, and saw the mare there grazing in the field. Prisoner paid nothing to him for the use of the mare, and witness never authorised him to sell the mare, nor did he lend it to him. The mare cost him £7 10s. — Cross-examined by prisoner: Witness did not lend him the mare. He wanted to see his mother before taking tne mare away.-Edward Rumsey Williams, the Harp Inn, Carnarvon, said the accused came to his house on the 28th ult. He had a pony saddle, &c., with him. On the following Tuesday he came there again with the pony. Witness asked him did he want to sell the pony, and he replied, "I don't mind." Witness then struck the bargain for R4 10s, and paid tbl. by cheque, which had been cashed.—P.C. 53 appre- hended prisoner on Sunday, and charg- ing him with stealing the mare. Accused replied that he did not steal it, but that John Roberts offered the loan of it to him to be trimmed, and that he went to the field and took it away. He gave no explanation as regarded selling the mare.-P.S. 12 also gave evidence.—Prisoner had nothing to say and no-one to call as a witness.Prisoner was found guilty. There were several pre- vious convictions against him, and he was now sentenced to three years penal servitude. AFFILIATION APrEAL. John Robert Owen, Snowdon street, Pen- ygroes, appealed against the decibion of the Carnarvon county bench in an affiliation case brought against him by Catherine Ellen Jones, Baptist-street, Penygroes, on the 18th January last.—Mr J. T. Roberts appeared for the appellant, and Mr E. R. Davies for the respondent.-After a lengthy hearing, the order was confirmed.

FLINTSHIRE. The quarter sessions for Flintshire were held at Mold on Wednesday. Mr J. E. Bankes, deputy-chairman, presided. The following gentlemen qualified as magistrates —Mr Morgan Owen, Rhyl, and Mr Trevor J. Jones, Holywell. In delivering his charge to the grand jury, the chairman urged the desirability of do- ing away with the sittings of the court when there was no business Mr R. Bankes applied for an order to be made for the diversion of a footpath through Mostyn Park. The application was being made with the consent of various local bo- dies, and also with the consent of Lord Mostyn. The new path would be shorter for the public.—The application was granted. The Chairman suggested that the twelve justices at present acting on the Standing Joint Committee should be reappointed, and the proposal was agreed to. William Roberts, 65 years of age, was charged with stealing two Prayer Books from a church at St Asaph, between the 23rd and 26th February. The prisoner had spent 35 years of his life in prison, having served one term of ten years' penal servitude and two terms of seven years.—The Chairman, in sentencing the prisoner to six months' im- prisonment with hard labour, said it was idle to waste words upon; him, but the bench hoped he would mend h.is ways before it was too late. John Hill, 28 years of age, and described as a stoker, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for various thefts whilst in lodgings at Bagillt and other places. He had just concluded a term of two months' imprisonment in Carnarvonshire for a similar offence.

MERIONETHSHIRE. These sessions were held on Tuesday at l Bala. There were no prisoners for trial, and the chairman (the Hon. C. H. Wynn) was presented' with white gloves by Mr Hughes (Dolgelley), the under-sheriff. The appeal for hearing was that in which the li- I censee of the Meirion Arms appealed against a refusal to grant him a license. Mr H. Iioyd Carter (Carnarvon) was for the ap- pellant, Mr David Jones (Llanrwst), repre- senting the justices, whose 'decision was up- held with costs.

WELSH MATTERS IN PAR- LIAMENT. POSTAL GRIEVANCES. In the House oif Commons, on Thursday, Mr Tudor Howell, pressed the claims of rural postmen on the consideration of the Post- master-Generai. Thos<e who knew country districts would admit that rural postmen were a. most 'efficient branch of the Post- office (hear, hear). Mr Hazell complained of the administra- tion of the insurance department of the Post- office. Mr Lloyd-George urged that further postal facilities should be giveji in South Carnar- vonshire. The Department had already been memorialised iby the County Council on the subject. As matters were at present ar- ranged, letters arrived in the district of Pwll- heli at such an hour that it was impossible to reply by the same post, and he believed it was quite possible by a rearrangement of the train service, to give an interval of two or three hours between delivery and collec- tion. He believed that the London and North-Western Railway would meet the views of me Post-office on the matter. He would also oall the attention of the Postmas- ter-General to the treatment of Welsh names. Because a Carnarvon newspaper publisher wrote Afberdovey according to the Welsh spelling, the letter was re- turned to him .through the Dead Letter Office. He 'had been informed by a Welsh professor that in writing to a. friend at Os- westry he adopted the Welsh spelling of the name of the town, and the letter made a journey to Africa before it arrived' at its destination. He urged that at Shrewsbury and other centres to which Welsh letters were taken, as well as at the Dead Letter Office, a register of Welsh names should be kept. Sir G. O. Morgan supported the suggestion of his hon. friend as to a register of Welsh names. Major Rasch advocated the further em- ployment of old soldiers and sailors in the postal service. Mr Herbert Lewis assured the House that in Wales there was a reail practical sympathy with postmen, and he knew of an instance in which the public had penalised themselves in order to render the lot of this most de- serving class of public servants more toler- able. With regard to pSace names there was a real grievance, wliich he believed could easily be removed. Mr Hanbury promised to consider the grievances.
